1 Bard Conservatory Seminar Theory Component Extended Functional Harmonies What we have been referring to as diatonic chords are those which are constructed from triads or seventh chords built on one of the seven scale degrees. When accidentals appear, sometimes these are a result of the raised seventh degree in the minor scale found in the dominant V chord. Sometimes the accidental is best explained as one of the contrapuntal dissonances defined previously, e.g. passing tone, lower or upper neighbor note, appoggiatura, etc. What we will refer to as altered chords are triads or seventh chords which are not derived from the major or minor scale but which are composed of tones which are clearly heard as stable consonances and not as unstable contrapuntal dissonances. As such, they have the status as a self-contained harmony within the tonal system. We have already discussed one such altered chord, the secondary dominant. The secondary dominant of V requires a raised fourth, the secondary dominant of IV requires a lowered seventh, the secondary. In the following we will discuss two additional types of altered chords both of which are commonly encountered in the literature. I. "Borrowed" Chords The indicated chords are those triads made available by the minor mode within a major tonality. The major scale yields the following borrowed chords within the minor mode. Perhaps the most conspicuous borrowed chord is the final tonic containing the "picardy third." where the final chord in a minor movement is altered, or sweetened, by a resolution on a major tonic harmony. This is found most commonly in baroque works: Bach WTC book 1 Prelude #4 1
2 Also common is for major keys to borrow the subdominant from the minor key. In this case, the seventh chord built on the second scale degree of the minor scale results in a half diminished sonority: iiø7 The Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven borrows the VII chord from the minor mode as well as the minor subdominant iv before temporarily cadencing in i. 2
3 The Bach French Suite borrows harmonies from the parallel minor to effect the modulation to the dominant. Bach Suite (second part) 3
4 In the following, the VI borrowed from the minor mode seems to make the deceptive cadence doubly deceptive: Mozart: Don Giovanni Act I Scene 4 II. Altered sixth chords-neapolitan As we have noted, scale degree triads are frequently subject to some form of contrapuntal embellishment: a stepwise displacement of at least one chord tone resulting in a harmonic dissonance. Some of these embellishments are so common that they have become to be heard as stable consonances and are therefore defined as independent functional harmonies. Among these are the so-called altered six chords. These are all subdominant chords in first inversion (hence the designation "six") containing half-step alterations of one or sometimes two of the chord tones. The best known of these is the Neapolitan six. The Neapolitan is simply a iio6 chord in a minor key in which the interval of a six is diminished. 4
5 Thus the normal iio6 becomes iio6b, the Neapolitan six. iio6 iio6b or N6 The neopolitan six chord may also appear in major, in which case two alterations are necessary. Or it may be thought of as a iio6 chord borrowed from the minor mode: Neapolitan chords are frequently found at cadences where a "major" sonority of the subdominant contrasts with the minor resolution: Beethoven: Sonata op. 57, Appasssionata 5
6 Neapolitan chords frequently precede the main final cadence in large scale fugues by Bach: J.S. Bach WTC book 1, Fugue XX Finally, the Neapolitan was increasingly thought of as defining a distinct functional harmony, namely a triad constructed on the bii scale degree, thus allowing for the transposition of a motive immediate up one half step. Beethoven frequently makes use of the Neapolitan within a horizontal, melodic context: String Quartet, op. 59, no. 2 6
7 7
8 Beethoven: Sonata op. 57, Appasssionata IV. Altered six chord: augmented six chords: French, German, Italian The other types of altered six chords are called augmented sixth because they contain the augmented sixth interval as opposed to the diminished sixth interval in the N=beapolitan six chord. There three varieties of augmented sixth chords. What is known as the Italian six results from a iv6 in the minor mode in which the interval of the sixth is raised- technically a iv#6: iv6 altered to iv#6 or I6 When the seventh is added to the subdominant chord the result is a iv65. When the interval of a sixth is augmented, the chord becomes the German six chord: 8
9 iv65 is altered to iv#65 or G6 The final variety of the augmented sixth chord, the French six, results from the iio43 being altered. Remember that this chord is really a iio6#43, thus the interval of a sixth between the outer members of the chord is now widened by a half step. iio643 becomes ii#643 or F6 It will be noticed that the two voices forming the augmented sixth interval almost always are resolved stepwise spreading outwards to an octave: The following are several examples of the use of the augmented six chord. Schubert: Winterreise, Der Wegweiser 9
10 Brahms: Symphony no. 2 10
Adding a diatonic seventh to a diminished leading-tone triad in minor will result in the following sonority:
